Brazil’s Hidden Eden of Wildlife & Exploration: The Pantanal

The Pantanal is the world’s largest tropical wetland, stretching across Brazil, Bolivia, and Paraguay. It is also one of the world’s most extraordinary wildlife sanctuaries. The Pantanal’s seasonal pulse, shaped by a dramatic cycle of floods and drought, creates a paradise for photographers: mirror-smooth blue lagoons, endless skies, and golden savannas sprinkled with giant water lilies and winding river channels. You can also expect to spot giant river otters, capybaras, caimans, tapirs, and a rainbow of birdlife, including the stunning hyacinth macaw. It is also the most reliable place on Earth to see jaguars in the wild. Listen to the latest episode of the GowayPro Travel Tales Podcast to hear from two Goway Destination Specialists who just returned from the Pantanal and discover why Brazil and the Pantanal should be at the top of any South America itinerary.
